Oh God

(Picture Credit "God Letting Go" by PS Mag com)

Oh God, whoever and wherever you are,

Do you really want me

To sit and wait for your son Jesus to save me?

Do you want me to just bow down

Before You

In supplication

And leave everything to you?

I think not.

For We are your infantry

If you will

And we are here

To kick the a*** of Evil

And make things work

Throughout this Creation of yours.

I’m sure you want us

To be self-reliant

Creative and inventive.

For You have Delegated much

Of Your Work

To Us.

Which is why

We were Created.

So to sit back

And wait for Salvation

From You

Is not

What You

Are looking for.

I’m sure of that.

So let us Believe

In Ourselves

To Achieve

Whatever is required

To make the world

A better place.

We can make God

So proud of us

As His creation

If only we get up

Off our backsides

And show Him – or Her – or Both

What We can do.
